Forgive and move on

I have recently gone through a very black period and thought it would be impossible to forgive. However reading French author Christine Orban's little booklet on"Petites phrases pour traverser la vie en cas de tempete... et par beau temps aussi ( "Small phrases to go on with life in case of thunderstorms...and also in case of fair weather"), I want to share these two with you all:

"Le pardon ouvre des portes, la rancune les referme" ( forgiveness opens doors, rencor closes them")

" Les malheureux oublient le bien et jamais le mal. Une bonne vie consiste a garder le meilleur et oublier le pire." (Those that are unhappy forget the good things and never the bad. A good life consists in keeping the good and forgetting the bad)

This is good advice!
